Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2020192876A1] The invention relates to a method of controlling a plurality of vehicles, performing the same mission cycle, comprising - mapping a first set of planned degrees of progress (CCP1) to the cycle, - controlling the vehicles to start the cycle at respective different points in time, - determining deviations of the vehicles from a respective planned degree of progress (CCP1i) of the first set of planned degrees of progress (CCP1), - mapping, based on the determined deviations, a second set of planned degrees of progress (CCP2) to the cycle, and - controlling the vehicles so as to minimize deviations of the vehicles from a respective planned degree of progress (CCP2i) of the second set of planned degrees of progress (CCP2).
